Yes, No, Yes, No, No

It's Vapor Ware
Or have you failed to realise it?

Like I said, I want it to be real. I really really do. I just don't believe they'll ever release it at this point.


EDIT:
If you don't like the term Vaporware how bout we start calling it 'promiseware' instead?

Either way, it's missed every single projected and even it's 'assumed' dates.


This is the DF forum, I suggest you move your post over to the AoC forum that fits your facts better. Just add acouple of, "did they make that?" to be sure...

It's one thing to make fanboy rebuttals  , but making completely idiotic statements like that one you just made simply because someone pissed on your Darkfall parade by telling it exactly how it is , doesn't cut it..

"What man is a man who does not make the world better?"

Whether or not a title is vaporware is a matter of trust between the community and the developers.

For all we know, AoC/WAR/TcoS etc. could be vaporware. What if something crazy happens and the games are never released? You never know!

People don't call them vaporware because they trust the developers, they trust their intended release dates, their beta tests, their public showings, devs journals, podcasts, newsletters etc.

A large portion of the MMORPG.com community no longer trusts the DF devs because of missed date after missed date, unfullfilled promise after promise.

But there are those that still trust Adventurine and trust that DF will be released and well be glorious.

Point is:

There is no "right" or "wrong" answer.

Only when/if the title is A) cancelled B)released will there ever be a right and wrong answer.

Honestly, don't get your hopes up for Darkfall. It might be released, it might not, but one thing is for sure, it will be a while before we know. Do you still have your hopes up for Duke Nukem Forever? Oh yeah, Duke Nukem Forever just released a new trailer last month. Duke Nukem Forever has been in development for 11 years and still refuses to give any set release date for their product and has revealed no real proof. Darkfall is following closely behind with 7 years in development.

Anyways, do I think Darkfall is a 'real' game? Yes it's most likely a real game. Do I think Darkfall is everything they say it is? Nope, I bet it's nothing special and will turn out to be a major let down if it's ever released.

Go read the history of Darkfall, the promised betas, and the broken promises.

Did it have a projected release date in 2006 ?
Did it make it?
Did it have a revised release date in Q1 2007?
Did it make that?
Have they projected a new release date in Q2 2007?

Did it make that?

Did they announce the 30,october 2007 as a releasedate ?

Did they make that ?

Did they announce the 25,march 2008 as a releasedate ?

Did they make that ?

Yes, No, Yes, No, Yes, No, Yes, No, Yes, I dunno' yet

The funny thing, back in 2005 they (by mistake i guess) they said;'

"“Age of Conan – Hyborian Adventures” is scheduled for a Windows release in March 2008. The game won the Gamespot award as “Best MMO” of E3 2005, as well as being runner-up as the “Most Innovative Game of Show”."

They should have sticked to that. ..

wow thats alot mroe offcial dates than darkfall and peple still trust the devs xd but im sure it will release its a big company but there no player freedom in it its way tomuch zoning and instaces : / the combat system is how you see its just manula attack with dice roll like TR except TR has a TPS interface

AOc doesnt have target tho it more area of swing XD

 

i c 2002 and 2005 Wow thats really a reason to call it vapor

the summer one was internal notice there was no internal invovled with the other ones

2002,2003  was a legit reason to stop beta from starting so any more of your opinions that i can just proove wrong?

I lol at Killershiver.

 

You are a classic example of Fanboi brainwashing.

 

Even in the face of overwhelming facts you still choose the contrary stance.

 

I bet you don't believe in global warming too.

Don't worry he isn't really leaving.  It would be nice if they actually released Darkfall. It's a little too early to call vaporware since they are still currently working on it, but i think it would be hard to believe they will actually fulfill all of their hype they have given it.
